The hospital should be going after the Medicaid, but it’s easier for them to go after an individual because individuals typically cannot afford a decent lawyer.

Did your friend have auto insurance? That’s the only reason I can think of for why the medical bills wouldn’t be covered by Medicaid. Usually when it comes to car accidents, the auto insurance is the primary payer, and the health insurance picks up as secondary.

I didn’t even think about that. ☝🏻
